The Autograph Book- A timeless Classic of memories and dreams
Many people throughout their lives start an autograph book—possibly begun in high school when our classmates wrote in the school yearbook the sayings of comic or thoughtful prose. In time, this book may have become a scrapbook of sorts—containing all our dreams, wishes,---a hidden childhood treasure trove..
For some, the autograph book evolved into a leather bond engraved book with the prestigious title Autographs in gold leaf script on the padded cover with heavy styled, expensively bond and scented paper within its folds.
Through the years, we became more selective about whom we would let write in our book of dreams, and wishes... only the kindred spirits of our hearts were allowed to enter this sacred world.
Other times we might if they were our kindred spirit- one whom as Anne of Green Gables would say- share our inner most secrets to the depths of our soul with—they could draw an image, script a verse of prose or write a few lyrics of a song that resonated with them and ourselves.
Other people might have even allowed their pets to stamp their paws on these pages of their lives. A furry creatures paw print that could speak more than words would be created and revered for all time.
Written motivational messages from family of years gone by, such as grandparents could be stored within this treasure of memories.. Such message would be a living vibrant testament of our heritance and of the paths they took to help create the current one we now walk before us..
So I now ask where is your Autograph Book now and how are you using it.
